Our time in Cornwall with Chris was a very nice experience. We had a change of plans with our dates, and Chris kindly accepted to host us earlier than expected, which we really appreciated.
During our stay, we mainly helped with gardening, cleaning the cottage house, painting, and some simple repairs. We also had the chance to try some British… read more dishes (fish and chips and Cornish pasty) and to cook for all, sharing dinners and good conversations.
Chris is a very friendly and open-minded person, and we also had the pleasure of meeting his children, Georgia and Bobby, who are really creative and kind. The region around Bude is very beautiful, and we had bicycles to explore it even more.
Thank you, Chris, for hosting us!

Chris, Georgia and Bobby were wonderful hosts. Chris is a very open-minded person, who can make people from all cultures feel comfortable, he speaks many languages and he's lived abroad for a long time. Apart from workawayers, he's also hosted and helped many Ukrainians refugees. I was only meant to stay for a month but decided to stay for longer… read more as I was having a really good time. I ended up staying a full summer, and found a part-time job at a local campsite.
Working for Chris is a pleasure. The work is quite varied and flexible, and Chris is happy to let you do what you can do best. I mostly focused on cooking and gardening, as well as some other side projects.
The place is great if you love peace and nature, as there is a beautiful garden, a lot of pets and stunning views of the sea.
Chris also has an iconic black van with which he took us workawayers for several nice day-trips. The van almost passed away in Spain, but a recovery mission managed to bring it back from Santander to Cornwall, where it underwent surgery and it is now back on track, carrying kids and workawayers around.
There are also several buses that pass close to the house, and although they're not too frequent they can take you far and wide. From here, you can visit many places along the coast, including lovely towns, Tintagel castle and stunning cliffs, or you can head inland to Dartmoor National Park. If you like hiking, I highly recommend hiking as much as you can of the coastal path, both north and south of Bude. The nearby towns of Stratton and Bude are also very pretty, and can also be reached by bike.
Overall, I have very positive memories of the summer spent at Chris', with whom I am keeping in touch. The kids are also very funny, clever and polite. I would love to go back and visit again one day!

It was a pleasure to host Efrain for over 3 months at our home. He came at a time when we had a few workawayers staying and he got on well with everyone, participating fully in the variety of tasks asked of him and also in the times spent together as a group and in the family. Efrain got on well with all of the family, the children were sad to see… read more him go. I’m happy to recommend him to other hosts!
Mi experiencia con Cris fue muy buena y agradable, compartimos salidas a la playa, caminatas, salimos a nadar con los demas chicos a eventos musicales, compartimos comidas, la ubicación donde vive es una zona muy agradable con bonitas vistas, al sur puedes caminar por el bosque o puedes visitar Bude que está muy cerca. Cris es muy flexible con las… read more actividades, es un ambiente muy relajado, los niños son muy tranquilos. En general una excelente experiencia, totalmente recomendable. Gracias Cris.

It was a pleasure to host Jarah for two weeks at our home. He came at a time when we had a few workawayers staying and he got on well with everyone, participating fully in any tasks asked of him and also in the times spent together as a group. I’m happy to recommend him to other hosts.
I apologise for the delay in writing this comment. I stayed there for about two weeks. Honestly, I didn’t expect anything, and it turned out to be a wonderful surprise. First and foremost, Chris and his sons were extremely kind, and we always shared beautiful moments together. There were also other workers who were great, and the… read more communication with them was excellent. The place was magical, beautiful, and peaceful, allowing you to breathe nature in all its glory. The tasks there were light. If you, dear reader, get the chance to go there, don’t hesitate – go immediately. I highly recommend it.
Thank you for everything.
Warm regards,
Jarrah
